Director’s Desk Overall Performance Parameters The External Cash Flow of CSIR-NML during January to June 2012 among the various categories of projects as well as the trend of the growth of (External Cash Flow) over the last 5 years is depicted below : SSP GAP CLP CNP STS Industry Grant-in-Aid Foreign SSP : Sponsored; GAP : Grant-in-Aid; CLP : Collaborative; CNP : Consultancy; STS : Scientific & Tech. Services The overall external cash flow over the past six months as well as that achieved in this financial year has remained at the same level as the past two years. However, the significant difference has been that a major part of the external cash flow is from industrial funding and the component of government sponsored grant in aid projects has decreased progressively. SCI Publications and Citations The number of SCI publications since Jan 2012 is more than 50. As an institutional open sourcing policy, all NML Research publications are uploaded in NML's Institutional Repository. This has led to a substantial increase in the number of citations which as on date is 10363 for 1566 publications registering an increase of about 19% in the last calendar year. The average citation per paper is 6.62. 2
